THE END OF OFFICIAL BODYBUILDING COMES CLOSER
We are speaking already for a number of years about the great changes coming to the official sport of bodybuilding.
Every day people look on bodybuilding more and more negatively.
WADA becomes more active, various anti doping conventions are being organized...
The day when all contests (including the regional ones) will be controlled by WADA is closer and closer.
Some countries are already doing it.
Then bodybuilding loses it‘s official position of being a sport and it becomes like a closed religious sect: living as a group of people with their own hobby.
This already happens in some countries.
Read this extract from Belgium press:
NABBA TODAY
In a tale almost too wild to be true, every single competitor at the 2009 NABBA Belgian National Championships rushed from the venue leaving the promoter no choice but to cancel the show, and approximately 300 spectators went home without seeing a single bodybuilder compete.
Why? Three doping inspectors entered the venue with intent to perform testing and all the competitors scheduled to compete sprinted from the venue.
One of the inspectors, Dr. Hans Cooman, “I have never seen anything like it and hope never to see anything like it again“. In a case of stating the obvious, the Doctor said he had no choice but to conclude that all the competitors were using steroids based on their abrupt departure from the venue.
Reports say that all the competitors just grabbed all their items and ran off when the doping inspectors entered the room.
